On March 8, two bills passed the Mississippi House and Senate, proposing age restrictions on libraries' digital content. But in both House Bill 1315 and Senate Bill 2346, the language is so broad that “I'm pretty sure we just banned the Bible,” an independent state representative told the Mississippi Free Press. Both are headed to conference with House and Senate negotiators.
Under these bills, Mississippi could ban digital books with “sexually oriented” material from public and school libraries. Some lawmakers have voiced concern that this could mean even adults could not access some e-books. #shorts

A federal judge rejected the claim that Grenada police officers should be protected by qualified immunity in the 2018 death of Robert Loggins in the local jail.
The ruling by U.S. District Judge Sharion Aycock moves the case one step closer to trial in Mississippi.
A video obtained by the Mississippi Center of Investigative Reporting at Mississippi Today shows Loggins rolling when officers and jailers piled on top of him inside the Grenada County Jail. It also shows an officer kneeling on his neck. You can watch the full video on MCIR's YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MW_9Yf4e-wk
